"RMS Titanic" Model 1:200 Scale from Ralph Currell Jeez, Gerardo, This model is incredibly small! You have my sincere admiration. You must have very good eyesight up close (I wish I had). And you´re building TWO at the same time? . . My goodness! I don´t know a faster builder on the...

"RMS Titanic" Model 1:200 Scale from Ralph Currell Hola, compadre! This really is great news! Ralph Currell is an excellent designer of advanced card models of the highest precision and appearance. What an honour to be chosen to do the Beta build - but then, you are widely known these days...

Typhoon Class Sub? Hi fasteddiexx1, I found this from Fly Model - the ill-fated Russian Submarine 'Kursk', that became stranded and water-filled at the bottom of the North Atlantic off Norway: http://www.moduni.de/product_info.php/cPath/10000000_10400000_10402001_10402031/products_id/6128142...

RMS Titanic Info Thanks bluenoser, That´s an interesting page with lots of information. The Titanic has always held a special fascination for me. About ten years ago, the Stockholm Maritime Museum held a special exhibition on the Titanic in rememberance of the many 3rd class Swedish...

Gang ho, ship builders, I found this page with a very impressive account of a super-detailed and apparently very large paper model of the''RMS Titanic' : http://titanic-model.com/articles/article6/article6.htm The small pictures are supposed to be clickable but my browser couldn´t handle...

GeeBee R-2 Flying Paper Model Hey Rick, Have a look at this enlarged Japanese (flyable) GeeBee R-2 paper model: http://www.cerveza-craft.com/GB.html The owner/pilot looks very pleased indeed. Best, Bengt :D

Black Shark Sub Hi Rick, Yes, I recognize it now - thanks. Sometimes it pays off to take the time to scroll down to the very bottom of each page . . . It´s a beautiful model. I think your joints look finer than the model presented above. All the best, Bengt :D

Black Shark Sub Thanks Rick, I´d better take a closer look . . . Bengt :D PS.(Edited in): Yes, I´ve seen all the stages of the construction now - a very handsome build. Truly inspiring. Thanks Rick!

The 'Black Shark' Sub Aw right, Rick, It seems you (and Chris) had it figured all along - thanks for the link with the additional information on the sub model. I look forward to seeing pictures of your build of this model. I assume we can quite safely translate the Japanese name "Kurosame"...

Nando, I downloaded the files, one by one, without any problems, and they look sharp at 100% in Photoshop CS. They are png files, entitled png Ah, Bh and Ch. I suppose I could convert them to jpg files and send them to you by mail but try again on your own first. Save them one at a time to...

"Latitude Zero" Japanese Monster Movie Hi Chris, Thanks very much for the info about the film - I searched the Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) and this is what I came up with: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064470/ It seems like an interesting sci-fi movie, with almost "cult classic" status -...

Hi all ship builders, On the Japanese 'Godzillu' monster paper models site, I found this science fiction-looking sub, which I think looks rather nice: http://godzillu.daa.jp/kurosame/ It looks a bit like Gerry Anderson´s Stingray, wouldn´t you say? Hope you´ll like it, Bengt :D

Granville Bros. GeeBee Racers Hi all, What an extreme racer airplane this was back in the early 30s - the biggest possible and most powerful WASP engine with an excuse for the thinnest wings mounted directly to it and the pilot inside the horizontal stabilizer. No wonder they crashed all...

GeeBee R-1 Racer Finished Beautiful work, Rick! You really got a nice 'shiny' metal look on this one - did you spray the sheets with a glossy fixative or did you print on glossy paper? I especially admire the work you did on the wheels with the Dremel - very nicely done! Keep up the...

GeeBee R-1 Racer Rick, Your build of this beautiful well-known 30s racer airplane looks VERY good indeed. I´d also like to build this one - it´s printed out already and it´s waiting in long line of "to-do" projects. I´ll certainly look at this thread when I get to it. Your observations on...

Good Modelling Company Gerardo, you lucky man, I wish I had a young son to build paper models with. My teenage daughters are not that interested in Daddy´s paper models. Although I have to admit that a while ago, my youngest daughter (13) and I built a rather nice 'science' model from the...

Fokker E.V/D.VIII kampfflieger, Beautiful model! The D.VIII is my altime favourite. But where are the ailerons? All the best, Bengt :smile:

Apollo 11 Paper Model Kit keith, Your argument that things can go wrong during a build has a bearing and the idea with a CD is a good one - this makes building the models more flexible. However, I´m beginning to think that Thomas might be getting a bit tired of all our questions by now...

'Un-cut' Version of Apollo Model Set? airbob, That´s an idea. If this is not too much of a problem for Microartworks, I think that many 'purist' card modellers might want to choose such an option. And, just as a thought; if such a version would be slighly less expensive than the 'full'...

Hi Thomas, This is an interesting technique, indeed! However, I imagine that some parts might need some scalpel or scissors 'trimming' afterwards, to get rid of unwanted contour lines, as the laser cutter then leaves some space OUTSIDE of the parts? Are the cut-out parts attached to the...
